Polka dot (c. 1954-7)
This range of teaware with large, white spots (see trio, below) is seen with maroon, green, turquoise, yellow, pink or black background colours. I have seen backstamps dates ranging from 1954-7. The design is similar to the polka dot range produced by Hornsea in 1957 (not shown), that had large white spots on a pale blue ground. The Empire Ware range with small white spots on black (see jug, below) is similar to Piazza Ware.
